WINNER : Sophia
Four women narrate their perceptions of a shared period of time, giving the reader a "Rashomon" like experience. We all see things so very differently.
The location is a posh Mediteranean island, and these inhabitants have one thing in common. They are very wealthy and have many secrets.
A young boy, Sebastian, dies in a drowning accident. His devoted sister, Adora, is left heartsick and empty following his death. How Adora's life proceeds and the happiness and pain she causes others captured my interest totally. All four of the women are fascinating characters, and like little Russian nesting dolls there is more and more under each surface.
We have the beautiful side of devotion, and a shady less admirable side residing together in the gentle splendid atmosphere of utter comfort.
The reader is lulled by the soft island breezes, and every so often stunned awake by a the sound of a shattering cocktail glass falling on the shiny green marble floor.
